Hidden Rabbits

A major five publisher recently pulled a novel from its spring lineup, following allegations of AI use. Was this a baseless witch-hunt, or have the chat bots officially invaded? How can publishers avoid these controversies in the future? How can we? What is going on and has anyone informed the Amish?!🧁 GIRLFRIEND EXPLAINS 🧁We'll see you next time :)WANT TO BUY US A COFFEE?☕️ https://ko-fi.com/hiddenrabbitsTOPIC SUGGESTION BOX💡 https://bit.ly/topicsuggestionbox

Today, on Girlfriend Explains, I am explaining Dramageddon 1, 2, and 3 to Connor, who was not at all prepared for this video.One day, it was all Planet Unicorn and the SHOES music video and Fred thrashing around in a kiddie pool.

It seems to happen with some predictable frequency: A twenty-something with a questionable haircut (hey, been there) makes a yachtload of money by creating a company that solves some problem we didn’t even know we had, is praised by critics, extoled by the public, and then loses it all — as swiftly as a Fed can kick down their door.What is the pattern here? Is Forbes, the publication itself, to blame?

Kate Golden, a USA Today Bestselling Author, has published a new romance -- a "Hoziermance", to use her own words. It's a piece of contemporary fiction inspired (in every sense) by Andrew Hozier-Byrne, AKA the "Too Sweet" guy.THAT'S WEIRD, RIGHT?!But she's not the only author to pull inspiration from a real person -- or to fan the flames of feral fan culture for the sake of upping book sales. Today, Lindsey and Connor talk about the ethics of writing so explicitly about other people, romantic fiction, questionable marketing tactics, and parasocial relationships.We'll see you next time :)☕️ WANT TO BUY US A COFFEE?→ a lil way to support the show: https://ko-fi.com/hiddenrabbits💡TOPIC SUGGESTIONS→ https://bit.ly/topicsuggestionbox

This week on "Girlfriend Explains": A debut author finally published her fantasy novel after 12 years of ruminating and...wow! The resulting BookTok drama has been weighing on our shoulders like "societal pressure". We had to talk about it.*Note: The author in question has recently changed their name from Audra to Milo, and their pronouns are now he/him.

Lindsey here. I have never slept well -- ever, not once. I'm like Katherine Heigl in 27 Dresses, when she starts scrubbing her kitchen with a toothbrush at three o'clock in the morning. Except I'm not distraught about my sister shacking up with my hot boss; I'm just not sleepy.It's three o'clock in the morning right now, actually. Which you could probably tell because this description doesn't make any sense. Why am I talking about Katherine Heigl?Anyway, in today's episode, I tell Connor all about the history of sleeplessness, the science behind it, and what might *really* be keeping me up.

Space is full of stuff: Gas, dust, rock, more gas, more rock. But there is one region of the universe that is so empty, so completely void of matter, light, or detectable energy, that cosmologists refer to it as The Great Nothing.At 330 million light years across, astronomers expect to see thousands of galaxies swirling around, but The Bootes Void has about sixty.Why is this region of space so empty? Is it proof of the multiverse? Did an alien vacuum out all the stuff? Is it Tom Cruise's fault? Lindsey is here to answer all of these questions and more.
